New Rover...

...to me that is.

Yesterday, I purchased a 1965 Series IIa 109 5-door. Its a RHD and still has the original gearbox in it (only 3rd and 4th are synced). This should make for an interesting driving experience...haha I got lucky and found one with a semi-functional 2.25 Diesel.

I've decided to name this truck, Wilks.

I should be able to pick it up on Friday and have it in the garage by Saturday.

This one will be the overlander and daily driver while I completely overhaul the D1. The Disco is also going to be completely restored to stock with the exception of the suspension (OME Shocks and LR HD Springs) and after the MTs wear out, I'll switch over to an AT in the same size (245/75/16)

Should make for a fun project! Pictures will be uploaded this weekend after its home.

While I have put it through its paces quite a few times, It hasnt worked as hard as the majority of the vehicles here. Its more of a sentimental thing. The Disco was the beginning of my addiction and I want to make sure its around for a LOONG time!

Steven!!! Sweet deal brotha! How's the fam! Bet the Rangie is comfy as hek for the wifey and baby in comparison to the D1..haha

Scott...

Pictures will be posted after I pick it up...the pics the owner took are really low light and suck pretty bad.

Here's a picture of what it WILL look like only mine will have White wheels...

I'm going to be enlarging this pic and putting it on the walls around the work area for motivation!
